Dementieva has a good day; defeats Sharapova

Elena Dementieva had one of her "once a week" good days, and managed to solidly defeat Maria Sharapova this afternoon. This means Dementieva will be in the finals, facing either Serena Williams or Jelena Jankovic.

"I feel really great," an elated Dementieva told reporters. "I have lost to her twice this year and I was really looking forward to this match because she is such a tough player.

"This win really means a lot to me.

"When you play against Maria, she is a great fighter and never gives up. That makes it difficult to play against her." Yahoo News
